Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2/3 cup finely chopped fresh rhubarb
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, orange peel and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Fold in rhubarb and walnuts.
  • Transfer to two 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves (6 slices each).

This is excellent!!! I added more grated orange than the recipe calls for and am so glad that I did! This is a perfect breakfast bread, it's not overly sweet or heavy feeling. I have plenty of leftover rhubarb and plan to make another couple loaves today!!
